The Office of Medical Professions Advisement at ETSU will provide advisement to help
you develop academically and personally. We help students research professional schools
and deliver workshops design to help budding health professionals become competitive
applicants to the professional schools of their choice. Our advisors teach a Health
Professions Exploration Seminar course, which helps students understand professional
school requirements, the importance of practical experience, the significance of cultivating
a personal code of ethics, current issues and trends in our national and global health
care delivery system, and the purpose of critical thinking for health care professionals.

All pre-professional programs are programs of study, not majors. Therefore, pre-professional
students must select a major and minor by the time 60 credit hours have been completed.
The pre-professional student may choose from over one hundred undergraduate majors
at ETSU. Although many students pursue a math or science degree, it is not required.
Professional schools look for students that are well-rounded academically, socially
and portray professional competence. Although some professional schools do not require
a degree, we encourage all students to strive for the four-year degree while applying
to their professional schools of choice.

The Office of Medical Professions Advisement at ETSU operates under the auspices of
the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at East Tennessee State University. It
is housed within the Center for Advisement and Student Excellence (CASE). We are located
on the main campus, inside the Advisement Resource Career Center (ARC), on the 2nd
floor of the D.P. Culp Center.
